Thinking about a 2nd child after de novo 1st….
Me and my husband have an almost 2 year old who was diagnosed with a de novo genetic condition. He is unable to stand or walk yet, and is total care basically since he’s not your typical 2 year old.
We’ve both had genetic testing and his condition was de novo. We then had more genetic testing and none of us are really carriers for things to be worried about nor would IVF be helpful for us.
We’ve always wanted two kids, but I’m also scared what life will look like. Considering I still carry him everywhere, have to watch him 24/7, etc…
For those who have similar stories, did you have another? How did it look like? How was the adjustment?
